Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In late September, sunset in Falconwood is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access

- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

What affects the price in Falconwood
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A short route for the equipment
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
Falconwood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
